Rhyme Time Iii - Love

My time would be made of happy hours If you give me a prism of diffracting glass I’d split the sun in shards of VIBGYOR colors Make the sunrise clouds paint your face. Give me mirror in a multi-facetted case I’d see you from all the angles of my space Your smile would enhance the innate grace To keep it encased forever in me, I’d try. Give me a clear lens that would magnify Window of your mind for a lone butterfly To enter with my colored heart on the sly You’d then get painted in all my love’s hue. Give me a crystal lens that would focus you On my unclosed eyes, so I’d get to view In my dream your face all the time anew Etched to last in memory, a canvas bare. Give me your ear for once, you’d hear My heart beating in joy when you’re near If you let my enthralled bird fly in your air My time would be made of happy hours. December 5, 2017.
